3 Zvino imwe yaidanidzira kune imwe ichiti:
“Mutsvene, mutsvene, mutsvene, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose; nyika yose izere nokubwinya kwake.”
4 Nomutinhiro wamanzwi adzo, nheyo dzezvikumbaridzo zvakazungunuka uye temberi yakazadzwa noutsi.
5 Ipapo ndakachema ndichiti, “Ndine nhamo! Ndaparara! Nokuti ndiri munhu ane miromo ine tsvina uye ndigere pakati pavanhu vane miromo ine tsvina uye meso angu aona Mambo, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.”
